AJPH Study Shows That Most Abortion Restrictive US States Provide the Least Support for Pregnant Women

DoryLatest NewsAbortion Bans, American Journal of Public Health, Healthcare, Reproductive rights, United States

The United States Supreme Court’s ruling on the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization case in June 2024 revoked constitutionally guaranteed access to abortion for women. Since the ruling, 14 US states have placed a complete ban on abortions, while others have banned abortion during the 6 to 18 weeks gestation period. In the US, minoritized people and people of low socioeconomic status suffer from disproportionately low access to safe abortions — a situation made worse by the geographical barriers created by post-Dobbs abortion restriction policies. However, people who support post-Dobbs restrictions insist that the policies can help protect children, women and families.

They believe an embryo deserves the same rights as any human.
